In honor of the Rookie Mom’s contest we had this week I decided I would share with you my own little Rookie mom mistake.

Five weeks prior to the babies being born, in a craze of nesting instincts, I became suddenly obsessed with needing fancy, pretty burp cloths. I quickly bought a handful of the prettiest ones I could find.

As it goes- we didn’t use these, EVER. I think maybe twice. Instead we used large bathroom towels (because of reflux), we used swaddling blankets (because of accessibility) and we changed our shirts often from not using anything at all.

This week I decided they would make lovely little lumbar pillows and realized the project was the easiest pillow making endeavor that could ever exist, EVER.

Make it yourself:
Take a fancy unused burp cloth, that you probably shouldn’t have purchased-

Cut a slit in one side.

Stuff between the layers with a good chunk of lose batting-

Using a simple needle and thread hand stitch the hole.

A bit of justification for money poorly spent. I was able to make three with my leftover burp cloth collection.

Thanks for your entries in the rookie mom contest. The winner of the Rookie Mom Survival Guide is¬¨‚Ć Cerise who said “We live just outside Dallas. We love going to parks and taking walks. Although for a rainy day the best time we‚Äö?Ñ?¥ve had is going to the pet shop and looking at all the animals”. Congrats Cerise and please email me your address.
